Pakistan has strongly condemned the recent “terror attacks” in Lebanon, where over 30 people were killed and thousands injured in a series of explosions involving electronic devices.

In a weekly briefing, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch stated, “Pakistan strongly condemns this week’s attacks in Lebanon, carried through detonation of electronic equipments.”

“Use of cyber and electronic means to commit terrorism in foreign countries is reprehensible. We condemn terrorism in all forms and manifestations and offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and the people and the government of the Republic of Lebanon,” Baloch said.

The FO attributed the attacks to “Israel’s alarming adventurism in the region, which has endangered regional peace and security.”

“Pakistan reaffirms its support to Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and calls upon the international community to take urgent steps to hold Israel to account on its acts of international terrorism and violations of international law,” Baloch added.

Pakistan also condemned the September 12 Israeli airstrikes on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza, which killed 18 people, including six UN staffers.

“The horrifying massacre — that also included deaths of staff — is yet another crime committed by Israel in Gaza since October last year,” Baloch said. “These ongoing attacks on civilian targets including refugee camps also go against the spirit of ICJs provisional measures, which call for the provision of essential services and humanitarian assistance to address the challenges faced by the Palestinians in Gaza.”
